Pera educates children on portraits

ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News

Pera Education organizes educational programs Golden Children.

This autumn children can learn to become mini-art aficionados thanks to two programs offered by Pera Education in conjunction with the “Golden Children 16th to 19th Century European Portraits” and “Flashback: Works of Yannick Vu and Ben Jakober: 1982-2012” exhibitions.

Pera Education has organized the educational programs Golden Children and Art for Two for children ages 4 to 14. Children will be given the opportunity to closely study the dazzling collection of portraits from the Yannick and Ben Jakober Portraits Collection, which focus on portraits of royal children from the 16th to 19th centuries. They will also be able to delve into a close examination of the “Flash-Back, Works of Yannick Vu & Ben Jakober: 1982-2012” exhibition.

After learning about both the classical portraits and contemporary artwork, participants will use their creativity and insight of the presented works in additional workshops where they will have the chance to develop various projects using different materials and techniques under the guidance of artist and instructor Leyla Sakpınar. Workshops will take place on weekends from Oct. 14 to Dec. 23.
